I especially love his artwork how he depicts the black women with their distinctive features. With high cheekbones, full lips and exotic eyes that are so alive on Canvas. Its like each women is stepping off the canvas greeting you from the land of our great ancestors. Still I rise, still I rise , still I rise…

Were you properly compensated?

@HaloHighlightz Год назад

@@terenarosa4790 sometimes you model w/o it, depending on the circumstance. Why does it matter though?

@terenarosa4790 Год назад

@@HaloHighlightz because models deserve compensation. "Thank you"s don't put food on your plate. This guy is getting plenty of recognition because of the models he used. They should be compensated fairly. As a model and an artist i think we all deserve fair payment. We shouldn't let people take advantage of us.

Desmond Blair is awe-inspiring and kudos to his mom (rip) for paving the way for his greatness. This proves that the only limitations one has in life is, his or her, mindset.

@kreazea Год назад

as an artist who occasionally teaches art (substitute teacher), the first thing I always get from my students is 'miss, i cannot draw'. in addition to telling them 'everybody can draw' i always show them videos like these of artists who don't have hands yet create amazing pieces of art. it works for the most part because it encourages them to try, and I've even created artistic monsters when some of them realize they have the talent/skill to make art.

I am 10 years old. I watched this eventful and engaging video with my mother. This evoked lots of emotions. I was transfixed regarding the manner in which he wielded the brush and how painted in a languid manner but with such effort. Mr. Blair acclimated despite his uniqueness as a result of the "human spirt". I immensely cherish the message that was conveyed through this video----that everyone has acquired worth and purpose even if you feel insignificant. I wish Mr. Blair an aspicous career as an artist.
